Bedtime Stories

I try to read to my children at night. Well, this particular night Nate put his ears--I guess so he could listen really well. I thought it is was cute.

24th of July

On the 24th of July we ended up going to Cottonwood Heights. I must say it was fun. We will probably be there next year. They had all sorts of things. At least 10 bounce houses, face painting, pie throwing, dunking booth, food, free watermelon and great fireworks. And it wasn't nearly as crowded as Liberty Park is. The first picture shows JT on top of an army hummer. The next picture is Nate on a "vroom, vroom" Although I'm not sure he was sure of the cop next to him. He loves bikes--of any kind. But especially "vroom vrooms." The last is both of them sliding down a bounce house. They love those. Hope your 24th was a good one too.

JT's Surprise

This summer JT took a summer class called Bright Ideas put on by Alpine School District and BYU students. At the end of the class they did a program for parents. When it was time for JT's class to perform I couldn't find JT. I thought he had gone to the bathroom and was going to miss his class performance. They started singing a song that goes to the tune of "pop goes the weasel." All of the sudden JT pops out of the box at the end of the song. Oh, there he is. Little stinker.

Garbage Anyone???

Wow! This is disgusting. Why would anyone do that? Oh, that's right, it's a practical joke. No one really wants to eat garbage.

This book is for every child

JT got this book for his birthday yesterday from my mom. It is the cutest book. Every child young and old should have this book. Of course, like my sister Jen, I couldn't read it without crying. I've only read it 3-4 times since last night.

He's how old???

So he turned six yesterday. And I know it was six years ago I held my baby for the first time wondering what next. This love I felt from the first minute of life has only grown. And the most precious and cutest things come out of this little mouth. I think God puts those words there--for us mothers who need it most.

Jungle Jims

Wow! That was easy. Take your child to Jungle Jims which was all his idea. They provide the pizza, drinks, and cake. And of course all the fun your child can ever dream of. No real planning on my part. I just sit back and relax--or chase my two year old around.
